« Glavine wins #300 | Home | Maddux defeats Rockies »

Maddux goes for 341st for the 9th time

By john | August 11, 2007

Greg Maddux will be going for the 341st win of his career for the 9th time on Monday when he faces the Colorado Rockies.  Despite pitching well in his last start the Padres fell 2-1 to the St. Louis Cardinals dropping Maddux to 7-9 on the season. In that start he retired 18 of the final 19 batters he faced.

On the mound for the Rockies will be Jeff Francis. Francis is 8-0 in his last 11 starts and is 11-1 in his last 17. He is only 13 strikeouts from his career high as well.

This matchup features two pitchers on opposite ends of streaks. Hopefully Maddux can finally pick up a win as he’s been stuck on 340 wins since June.
